create infographic: hardware guide

[marwin89]

What

• Create a infographic about hardware setup in the same style as the other overview infographics.
• This guide helps players to understand what gadgets they need, no matter which game they may use.
• Ideally the guide depicts different setup levels and usages for instance:
• • home vs public
• • home starter vs home advanced vs home deluxe
• • public small, public professional
• • sing vs dance vs instruments

Why

• Many players especially new players need basic orientation
• There are no easy simple to understand visual information about hardware setups in the scene yet
• Players get an understanding how much it costs and what is possible

Inspiration

• Audio Equip Guide article in performous wiki

Best setup would be: Laptop Mixer Amplifiers Monitor Speakers Main out speakers Microphones Stagebox (so we have one line from the stage to our mixer instead of several per mic) External monitor / beamer (multiple or bigger onces if you have more players) Video splitter (to replicate on the external monitors and still have your desktop available on laptop) Enough cables to hook everything up Spare cables in case something breaks

Laptop connects through HDMI with other monitors / splitter Laptop aux connects to Mixer stereo input Microphones plugged into stagebox Stagebox plugged into Mic inputs (mostly mono) Mix the singers with lower volume for music on the main speakers (so they hear themselves) Mix the audio and route to mainout. Ideally the singers are a bit louder than the music track

Hookup the amplifier to the speakers and mixer (main out + monitor out)

Use the equalizer / volume slider to mix each voice

Optional: Compressor to normalize each input to eachother (so everyone will be as loud as everyone)

Perfect karaoke <3
